What is a french seam

Answer 1

A French seam is a strong and durable seam finishing technique used in sewing to encase the raw edges of fabric within the seam itself. It involves sewing the seam twice, first with wrong sides together, then pressing the seam open and sewing it again with right sides together to enclose the raw edges. This creates a neat and clean finish on the inside of the garment with no visible raw edges. French seams are commonly used in delicate fabrics like silk or chiffon to prevent fraying and add a professional touch to the finished garment.
